I came to JiuZhaiGou to go to the National Park -- which is great, BTW, and is probably why most people come to this area of China. The problem is that the Park is at some distance from the airport, so the obvious choice is either to stay near the park or near the airport. As I often do, I went to Hotels.com to book a room. Only two were listed, and I chose this one, because the blurbs made me think it was near the airport ("airport shuttle", etc.); it's not. In fact, I do not know why a hotel would be located where this one is, convenient to neither the park nor the airport -- except that this hotel is a "resort", meaning, presumably, that there's stuff to do on the premises. There's not, except for a swimming pool, and three or four very mediocre restaurants.
Hotels.com should sign up a couple more hotels either near the park or on the way from the airport. (Also, because GoogleMaps, along with all other Google things, is blocked in China, I could not find accurate and useful information about the locations.)
